Not cross-linked polyethylene? Because I know for a fact ethanol is fine with CLPE.

Yes, the flexible fuel lines need to be replaced with Viton lined hoses with a suitable pressure rating. The big question was whether or not our stock fuel tanks would be OK when using the E85. Some of the 951 ( 944 Turbo ) guys have been using E85 for as long as 2 years so far with no ill effects but I wanted to test our tanks seperately to be safe. So far, so good after 2 1/2 months.

Yes I have and they are not expensive. My company manufactures large hydraulicly powered construction equipment so I just called one of our suppliers and told him what I was trying to do. It took him less than a day to come back with the hose needed. If you would like, I can get the exact specs and brand of the hose from him if you are interested. I haven't purchased the hoses yet because I am waiting on the results of my tank test and finishing up some other projects before tackling the E-85.
